Speaking during a recent podcast hosted by DJ Nosh, Chepkam did not mince her words. “I don’t want anything to do with poor men,” she said, adding, “They smell badly.”

Her comments have triggered widespread reactions online, with many accusing her of classism and insensitivity. Yet, Chepkam remained unapologetic throughout the interview.

“When broke men speak, all I hear is gibberish,” she remarked, to the shock of both the host and viewers.

She went on to claim that wealth is directly tied to intelligence and hygiene. “Rich men have good brains. They can hold meaningful conversations, and they can take care of a woman. They even know how to bathe and smell nice.”

The controversial figure also took a jab at the outspoken nature of men without money, saying, “Rich men don’t talk much. They’re calm. It’s the poor ones who are loud and chaotic.”

Her sentiments have since gone viral, sparking heated debates on classism, gender roles, and societal expectations in modern relationships.

While some netizens supported her “standards,” many others criticized her for promoting harmful stereotypes and for demeaning struggling men.

“Chepkam has made a name by being loud and controversial, but this time, she may have crossed the line,” one Facebook user posted.

As the online storm brews, Chepkam shows no signs of retreating—proving once again that in the world of clout, controversy sells.
